The Binkhorst lecture and medal were established in 1975 in honor of intraocular lens pioneer Cornelius D. Binkhorst. Each year, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) awards the medal to an individual who has followed in Dr. Binkhorst’s footsteps with outstanding contributions to the understanding and practice of cataract surgery and IOL implantation. Honorees, who present the Binkhorst lecture during the annual ASCRS Symposium on Cataract, IOL and Refractive Surgery, include some of the world’s most prominent pioneering surgeons. This year’s honoree is David F. Chang, MD of Los Altos, California.

Dr. Chang's lecture is titled "The Greatest Challenge in Cataract Surgery.  Needed: Five-Minute, $15 Cure for Blindness." It will focus on the global backlog of cataract blindness.
